The New Family Now - How We Connect in the 21st Century

Azhar ul Haque Sario

Summary

Family life is changing.  More people are living solo, choosing to stay single, or consciously uncoupling. Blended families are becoming the norm, and many are creating their own "chosen families."  We're seeing a resurgence in intergenerational living, and more diverse relationship models than ever before.
 
 
 
This book dives deep into these shifts, exploring the rise of solo living, the complexities of blended families, and the evolving definitions of marriage and parenthood. We'll examine the impact of technology, globalization, and economic inequality on families, and explore how we can build stronger, more resilient connections in the 21st century.
 
 
 
What makes this book different?  It goes beyond simply describing these trends. We'll tackle the tough questions about how these changes impact our well-being, our communities, and our social policies. We'll challenge outdated notions of family, advocate for greater inclusivity, and offer a hopeful vision for the future of love, connection, and kinship
